miR-802 reduces lung damages in ARDS model. a The effect of miR-802 mimic on LPS-induced histological changes in lung tissues (n = 8 for each group). b The effect of miR-802 mimic on neutrophil activation in damaged lung tissues. The activation was measured by MPO activity. c The effect of miR-802 mimic on LPS-induced tissue permeability damage as measured by Evan’s blue staining. d The effect of miR-802 mimic on LPS-induced TNFα production. The level of TNFα was quantified by ELISA. Independent experiments were repeated in triplicate. * < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with sham treatment group; ^# < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01, ^###p < 0.001 compared with scramble control receiving same treatment
